Kirk & Kirk frames are always a popular choice and we love working with this iconic British brand. Their story of artist and scientist coming together to create compelling eyewear is one that really resonates.
Did you know the journey taken by every pair? It’s a whistle-stop tour of British creativity and European innovation.
Every frame is thoughtfully designed by Karen Kirk, the company’s Creative Director based in Brighton. Karen’s passion for fashion and keen eye for style shines through. From concept to creation, her innovative designs capture the essence of individuality and self-expression.
The brands’s core material K-Lite™ is sourced from Italy and is custom made. These personalised colour selections and combinations are one of the reasons that Kirk & Kirk eyewear is so distinctive. The colours are specific to Kirk & Kirk frames and cannot be duplicated.
To maintain the high quality and specificity of all frames and designs, each frame is handmade from start to finish in France.
Each frame gets turned in barrels of woodchip and pumice for about two days, from where it is hand-polished to remove any remaining blemishes and create the signature vitreous, translucent glow.
By keeping the production in one factory from start to finish the quality is always controlled, checking it four times during the production process and then again before being printed with the logo, the ultimate seal of approval.
Once formed into eyewear, each frame individually constructed and inspected. The frames then find their way to the world.
